Various publications and organizations

Preparing articles for print from the research and interview stages to polishing final copy. 

Not only do I get to do what I love– write– but through my heavily ag-focused work I also get to get to meet the amazing people all over the world who help put food on our tables, oh, and beer in our fridges!

I also provide freelance writing and communications services for other industries such as business, real estate, and academia. I love to research, hear what people are thinking and doing, and I'm committed to continuous learning. Basically, if you give me an assignment, I'll figure it out and turn it into a story, regardless of the subject.

PayShepherd

Supporting the PayShepherd team and their SaaS to help manufacturing, mining, and other heavy industrial sites manage vendor relationships, save millions annually, and continuously improve process efficiency.

We believe vendor relationships are the core of industrial success. Yet for too long, poor vendor management has left people comfortably uncomfortable, risk is off the charts and performance is not rewarded. An ancient, paper-heavy process is to blame.

As a result, hundreds of billions of $$$ per year is wasted and countless relationships ruined forever. PayShepherd’s vendor relationship management (VRM) solution is revolutionizing the path forward.

PayShepherd has built a unique technology that monitors vendor spend, contract compliance, and work performance daily. Establish a foundation of accountability, alignment and common language that leaves risk, surprise and uncertainty where they belong–in the past. 

Build excellence with exceptional relationships at your industrial worksite today with PayShepherd (https://www.payshepherd.com/demo).

Copy Editing Apprentice

Ever since I can remember, I've been obsessed with writing and passionate about hearing and sharing people's stories.

For over 10 years, my work's been heavily focused on Canadian agriculture and business, and I've loved every minute of it.

Right now, I'm especially excited by the tech wave swelling across Alberta. The talent and heart that's powering amazing AI and IA solutions that help make people's days better and businesses more profitable for the future, is a movement I'm diving into in my research and writing. It's a fantastic story to help tell.

In my free time, I'm passionate about food – cooking and eating it. I'm also a devoted CFL fan. Stampeders in 2024!!!

Partner  / Executive Vice President

Senior Corporate Real Estate Broker

With 25+ years of executive management and organizational leadership, I have experience within multiple disciplines including asset development, project development, start-up SME, and strategic advisory services.
 
I founded Vital Energy Inc. (VEI) to disrupt large-scale legacy systems with bold, innovative, time-tested, and regenerative solutions that have positive effects on social, environmental, and economic infrastructure(s).
 
Our global climate is changing.
 
Energy transition and environmental sustainability is the new world order. VEI is engaging governments, policymakers, and the private sector who seek to redefine energy security and environmental sustainability.
 
I dig deep. I enjoy building strong teams.
 
I have brought together world-class engineering and technical expertise to deliver proprietary technology that replaces the current costly waste life cycle, with an investible business model generating higher-value alternative fuel(s) and clean renewable energy, substantially reducing environmental damage, GHG emissions and landfilling.
 
Began my career in international commercial real estate, leveraging my strategic, advocacy, and negotiation skills. I’ve worked on major engagements in a cross-section of markets and sectors including health and wellness, transportation, education, technology, utilities, and energy.
 
As a co-founder, our team developed a $1.2Bn medical production facility, researching diverse plant medicines, their effects on the endocannabinoid system, technology advances in cultivation and extraction, plant genetics, and international regulation and compliance. This broad exposure fostered a strong network of globally recognized researchers and scientists in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America, resulting in new opportunities for research and future medicines. Something I am very proud of.
 
An emotionally intelligent, empathetic thinker, my drive to succeed comes from integrity, honesty, and a belief that everyone has a right to good health and a clean planet.
